The developers who created Lemmy are leftists, and they run the lemmy.ml instance. The lemmy.ml (.ml is for Mali, btw) domain was allegedly chosen because ML can also stand for Marxist-Leninist.
I’m not an expert on the subject, but lemmy.ml users are known for being tankies. People don’t like that.
However, some of you whipper snappers don’t know that those of us with really old accounts joined back when lemmy.ml was the most popular instance. I just like FOSS things.
Edit: added “allegedly”
I’m on ML because it is the dev’s instance, that’s it. Also, I dislike how .world is run.
Just don’t post anything anti China or Russia and you’ll be fine.
Lemm.ee we tell you about my instance then… :)
.world got big mad that .ml users pointed out the genocide was a genocide and America was helping it
This is a perfect example to my earlier point that the majority of people whining about .world go there to stir the pot, violate the rules, get their shit removed, and then misinform the reasons.
Modlog for reference.
.world goes to .ml to break the rules: “Help help, they’re censoring me! I only said that my government was objectively good in the world!”
.ml goes to .world to break the rules: “You’re just steering the pot, shut up loser.”
Another victim shows up to cry about being banned for following the rules of lemmy.world and its communities! Clearly they can’t be lying, can they?
Let’s see….
A debate troll by definition! Sooner or later, there might be an exception to the rule- but this one is not one of them.
(Note how they accused me of going to .ml and complaining, where I have never posted or commented once in there: yet their modlog shows their constant complaining and getting removed.)
It’s like they’re begging to be called out.
Oh hey you unblocked me, neat. Can’t wait until you whine some more and claim the moral high ground.
No need to claim what’s rightfully mine. And that you got called out by- and are now butthurt because of your own modlog isn’t really something I’m concerned with.
Actually, I’m just glad to have helped.
And I’ll have no issue blocking you if you start whining again. Adults generally do that when children get cranky.
Ok buddy genocider, you go be “civil” to Nazis lol
Btw, that “pictures of dead babies” was a Japanese soldier bayoneting a Chinese infant as part of a literal baby murdering contest in the invasion of Nanking, in response to someone trying to pretend Japan was the victim of WW2.
You can ignore rhoeri, they’re a smug moron.
Okay buddy historian.
It’s not WWII anymore. And from where I stand, your false equivalence debate trolling got rightfully shut down.
You’re a known troll. And a perfect example of my point. Thanks for making it easier for me.
Lol, “known troll” and “disagrees with me, white ‘moderate’” are such similar phrases, aren’t they?
I think the ghost of the GOAT is right as always.
As we all know, trolls are anyone who disagree with you, and must be banned from the community.
Wow… two modlog proven trolls, complaining about having been subjected to the rules of a community. Imagine that!
It’s like you two are crawling over one another to see who can better make my point for me. I’m absolutely LOVING the competish, guy!
you two keep at it!
🍿
I’ll award a winner when I finish my popcorn. Or I’ll just forget about both of you within 5 minutes.
A few select .world users make a big fuss out of nothing in order to keep people signing up to their centralized instance.
Again, this is another perfect example to my earlier point that the majority of people whining about .world go there to stir the pot, violate the rules, get their shit removed, and then misinform the reasons. It tracks right along with their political ideology.
Modlog for reference.
You can stop defending Israel here. Read the post I linked and respond to it if you dare.
I hope everyone can see from this what I mean. These bots are programmed to side-step any factual accusation pointed at them and attack the accuser with false rhetoric.
Doing this is supposed to derail and distract from the fact that they have been proven to be what they’re accused of, and instead to put the accuser on a defensive.
Then they go after everyone else in other instances and communities, and cry about how they are censored and biased against.
Recognize this for what it is- and don’t let them do this.
Modlog for reference.
Call it out.
Another generic strawman trying to sidestep the issue. Every accusation is a confession for Zionists.
The irony.
It’s capitalist and pro-war propaganda.
I don’t know. I’m on ml. Something about ‘tankies’? I dont bother thinking about those cliques and ppl being so clique-y, and nor should anyone else. immature behaviour tbh, but I haven’t received any teasing for being on ml so I think it’s a minority of people who really dislike lefties maybe?
Its not about all users on ml, but about the quite big (or very loud) group of ml users being tankies. This phenomenon is so wide spread, that in most cases when you see a tankie somewhere they are usually coming from ml.
Except now y’all broadly apply “tankie” to anyone who’s anti-war, so it’s lost all meaning.
If by war you mean the Ukraine war. And by anti you mean give Russia all it wants in order to end it. Yes, anyone that is anti-war is a tankie.
Yeah, that’s what I said. Y’all apply it to everybody who opposes escalation with nuclear superpowers, or supporting US proxy wars.
If you support those, then you’re not anti-war.
opposes escalation with nuclear superpowers
Violating an agreement guaranteeing Ukraine’s borders? Totally fine. Providing support in accordance with that agreement? A step too far, that’s escalation!
Next tell me how evil nato forced putin to invade Ukraine to prevent nato expansion. And then how two new countries joining nato counts as preventing nato expansion.
Which is it? Should the Minsk agreements have been followed or not? Because every action you’re describing by the west is a violation of the agreements. Zelenskyy ran on neutrality, and respecting agreements made with Russia, then reversed course once elected, and now refuses to hold elections and risk the people electing a real neutral candidate.
You have a complete misunderstanding of the basic facts in this conflict: https://savageminds.substack.com/p/save-ukraine-from-american-meddling
The Budapest memorandum. You know, the entire reason Ukraine handed over their nukes? Minsk happened after Russia already violated that. Ukraine should’ve had an entire US arsenal the second Russian troops stepped foot in Ukraine.
And it’s well documented that Russian regulars were there, so don’t bother with the separatist stuff.
Its totally dissimilar to “blue mAgA” and “LiBtArD” being attributed to anyone that didn’t vote 3rd party though, right?
You can see it for yourself.
Write a comment/post critical of china in any community from the lemmy.ml instance.
For example about the Uyghurs or the mass surveillance or whatever is your topic of choice.
See how much time it takes for them to ban you/remove your comment under their rule of “no xenophobia”.
I think the admins call it “Rule 1.”
lemmy.ml, hexbear, and lemmygrad users verbally fellate contemporary and historical autocratic mass-murderers they deem to be “leftists”, or “great leaders and allies to the cause”, most recently being Vladimir Putin, Xi Jingping, and Kim Jong Un.
They are, in reality, bitch-made invertebrates who don’t even have the arm-strength to lift their Molotov-sippy-cups out of their premium-outdoor-brand backpacks, let alone form meaningful opinions on economics, political philosophy, or geopolitical reality.
More of this weird mythological fearmongering. Absolutely nobody on any of those sites believe that Vladimir fucking Putin is a leftist. You are pulling this assertion straight from an uninformed ass.
The bad part is that they support him, whether or not they consider him a real leftist is less important
Absolutely nobody on any of those sites believe that Vladimir fucking Putin is a leftist.
I have seen evidence to the contrary.
Those wannabe champions of labor are temporarily-inconvenienced-dictators-in-waiting.
I have seen evidence to the contrary.
where the fuck are you finding it? i hang out in these instances often and will rarely see it.
Then link it. You’re full of shit.
Did you actually read through their links? Because if you did, I don’t think you’d be this confident.
I have. I stand by everything I’ve written in this post.
Well, I read through them, and they are definitely not making the point that y’all are trying to make. I assume you’re counting on other people not going through them.
- Gathered all by the same dude
- Uses his own posts as evidence
- Considers anarchist instances tankie instances
So if I gather my own posts as a citation for my own claims that’s valid too?
So I’m 100% on board with most of what you said but… What on earth does ‘bitch-made’ mean? It’s setting off my women-hating red flags.
I googled it and scrolled down and got some garbage about a man raised by women, so I have concerns.
I agree, I don’t particularly care about shitting on Putin or any other world leader, it’s the thinly veiled misogyny/whatever at ‘enemies’ broadly with people gleefully encouraging it which makes me respond negatively
Diva, we disagree on a lot of things, and we agree on others, which makes you (genuinely) so much fun for me to see in a thread.
I just told people on another thread that (because of my trauma background) I don’t feel anger very often, which means I appreciate folks like you (and conversely, maybe, Rusty here) because I see you leap straight to it with abandon.
I guess what I’m saying is, it takes all kinds to make a world, and I’m glad you’re in it.
Thank you, the feeling is mutual! 😊
Bitch-made, in the literal sense, as in “of ill birth from a mangy female dog”.
I have heard it used in common street language where I’m from from both men and women, gay and straight.
hey look a post from a lib that’s so mad about internet forums not following the narrative that they can’t contain their homophobia and misogyny 📷
I’m gonna show your comment to my wife, and one of my best friends, at whose gay wedding, I will be speaking. Congrats! You’re in the speech! Let’s face it, we all need to laugh more in life, and judging by your reaction, I prefer to do it at your expense.
So please, cry harder, because I need more material!
🫶🏽🥂
‘jokes on you, I have gay friends’
-the person posting homophobia
maybe you should read your comments first at your hypothetical wedding, see how it goes over.

I intend to! What a perfect moment to highlight the exploits of edgelords on the internet. I’m sure I’ll be strenuously heckled and ostracized for condemning and deriding supporters of Putin, the CCP, and the DPRK on the internet there.
It’s in June, back home in Chicago, so it’ll be a joyous affair, of which you’re an expert of, no doubt.
I’m sure homophobic insults will go over great with the people you associate with.
There’s nothing homophobic about what I said.
I’m sure all your gay friends approve👍
How the hell are you reading homophobia into the original comment?
'verbally fellating" is kind of the tipoff
the misogyny is the second paragraph
🙄
😇
As I’ve said before, it doesn’t matter if you suck dick or not. It does matter whose dick your sucking (proverbially), which in this case would be Putin, Jingping, et. al.
In the last year I saw way more people being supportive of genocidal libs like Biden and Harris, I judge those people pretty harshly too
This right here is why ML has the reputation it does.
ML has the reputation it does because most westerners believe the red scare propaganda.
most arguments against it by the aforementioned people have a shaky connection to reality at best.
JFC son this is not a roast this is a fucking napalm strike, god damn.
That was beautifully put.
Thank you.
Damn it all. They didn’t disclose how I was supposed to behave during the sign up process.
I’ve only blocked a few ml users but I made sure to block that instance.
Went there first since I consider myself a leftist. Seen multiple thirstposts for Stalin and the likes: pretty picture with a popular quote. Comments all in the realm of “yes daddy”.
I hate capitalism as much as the next guy, just don’t see a point of swapping it for an equally bad form of repression.
